ITEM 15. Additional Information

 

On April 18, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. (Beijing time), an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at 4th Floor-A, GeHua Building, No. 1 Qinglong Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing, 100007. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and the proposal to authorize the directors and the officers to do all things necessary to give effect to the Merger Agreement.

 

On April 22, 2014, the Company and Merger Sub filed a plan of merger with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies. The Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies issued a certificate of merger dated April 23, 2014, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on April 23, 2014. As a result of the Merger, the Company will continue its operations as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.

 

At the effective time of the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $2.33 and each ADS was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $7.00, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (a) Shares owned immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by Shawn Ding, Moral Known Industrial Limited, Julia Huang, South Lead Technology Limited, Gegeng Tana, Mei Yixin, Pan Zhixin, Ellen Huang, InterVision Technology Ltd., MLP Holdings Limited, New Value Technology Limited, Lingyuan Furong Investment Mgmt Co., Ltd., McGraw-Hill Global Education Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Weblearning Company Limited and Guo Young, which were subject to a contribution agreement dated December 31, 2013 (the “Contribution Agreement”) whereby such shareholders agreed to contribute such Shares (except, in the case of McGraw-Hill Global Education Intermediate Holdings, LLC, limited to 3,377,336 Shares held by it) (the “Rollover Shares”) to Holdings, which contributed Rollover Shares, in accordance with the Contribution Agreement, were exchanged for the right to subscribe for the ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share, of Holdings and were cancelled and ceased to exist at the effective time of the Merger, (b) Shares and ADSs beneficially owned immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by the Company as treasury shares, held in brokerage accounts in the Company’s name, or issued to The Bank of New York and reserved for future grants under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Company Plan”), which, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of their holders, ceased to be outstanding and were cancelled and ceased to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, and (c) the Shares owned by shareholders who validly exercised and did not effectively with or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Law, as amended, of the Cayman Islands. The Company did not receive any notice of objection from any shareholder prior to the vote to approve the Merger.

 

 
 

 

At the effective time of the Merger, each option to purchase Shares (each, a “Company Option”) granted pursuant to the Company Plan then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, was cancelled and converted into and exchanged for an option to acquire one fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share, of Holdings (each, a “Holdings Option”). Each Holdings Option has an exercise or purchase price equal to the exercise or purchase price of the corresponding Company Option. Each Holdings Option retained the same grant date, the same vesting or exercise schedule, the same term and expiration date and substantially the same other material terms and conditions as each Company Option.

 

At the effective time of the Merger, each restricted stock unit granted pursuant to the Company Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) was cancelled and converted into and exchanged for a restricted stock unit of Holdings (each, a “Holdings RSU”). Each Holdings RSU was subject to the same terms and conditions as each Company RSU.

 

As a result of the Merger, the ADSs of the Company will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including NASDAQ. In addition, 90 days after the filing of Form 15 in connection with the transaction, or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC, the registration of the ADSs of the Company and the Shares underlying them and the reporting obligations of the Company under the Exchange Act will be terminated.
